I have a peculiar problem. I can dial-up the internet after a boot-up
but should I let my connection drop or sign out and want to reconnect,
I get an "ERROR 50: request not supported.". Multiple attempts will
not reconnect me. I bought a new modem, intalled it and still get the
same message on attempting my second connection.

I can always get back on the net but re-booting each and every time is
a pain in the ...

It appears I'm not the first to come to this group with the same
complaint but I've not found a solution to the problem in this
newsgroup.

any ideas as to what might be wrong?

My system is a Gateway 556GE with WIN-XP HOME OS that I've had for
about one week. The modem I just installed is an Intel(R) 536EP.

Thanks,
Ray
